in Clinton honour the fallen

Clinton News Record
Central Huron wanted to
go above and beyond for this
year's Remembrance Day to
honour the Canadian service
men and women from our
area that fought for our
freedom.
You will notice that six
banners have gone up on
street poles on Albert Street
by Clinton's cenotaph, each
one with the face and name
of a local veteran.
The banner idea origi-
nated last year when Coun-
cillor Dan Colquhoun, the
council rep for the BIA,
shared the idea after seeing a
similar display in another
town.
Jeff Roy, past chair of the
BIA, thought this was a great
idea and sent in a photo of
his grandfather, Victor Roy,
to his branding company,
the Seamless Brand. They
designed a mock up banner.
The idea sat on the shelf
for almost a year until Roy
brought it up at the newly
formed Central Huron
branding committee meet-
ing in September.
At that point, Angela
Smith, the new Community
Improvement Coordinator,
took the idea and ran with it.
To get a banner on every
sign post in Clinton is a huge
undertaking, so for this year,
they started small with just
six banners. This is to get the
project up and rolling to cre-
ate a tradition for years to
come.
"Families of service men
and women can see them,
and if they would like to
honour their relative, they
can contact me and pur-
chase one that will be up in
time for next year," said
Smith. "We hope to do all of
Albert Street [and beyond in
the future]."
The banners will be up for
a few weeks each fall.
Those interested in the
project can contact Smith at

com.
Smith emphasized that
she doesn't want people to
feel excluded since there
were only six banners this
year. The reason for six was
during their discussion
about the initiative, six peo-
ple committed right away,
including Councillor
Colquhoun, Facilities Man-
ager Steve Campbell, Wes
Chambers and Jeff Roy.
Smith purchased those ban-
ners the following day.
"We want to open it up to
the entire community and
honour everyone who wants
to participate," said Smith.
"But it is a big investment, so
we want it to be done right;
we wanted to see how it
went before we do the whole
street."
Each family purchases

their own banners. So while
on one hand it adds to the
downtown, on the other
hand it is a chance for peo-
ple to honour their family
members who have served.
"We're really pleased to
share a visual reminder of the
sacrifice our veterans made,
commented Mayor Ginn. "We
want those men and women
to be remembered."

On October 14, Goderich resident and cancer patient Hunter Thomas Costello was the recipient
of a $1000.00 cash donation from the Ontario Barrel Racing Association. Costello was not
able to attend the event, so in this photo, Community Improvement Coordinator Angela Smith
accepts the cheque on his behalf from an OBRA representative. Pictured here from left to right
